"An Act to provide for research into the problems of flight within and outside the Earth's atmosphere, and for other purposes." With this simple preamble, the Congress and the President of the United States created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on October 1, 1958. NASA's birth was directly related to the pressures of national defense. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in the Cold War, a broad contest over the ideologies and allegiances of the nonaligned nations. During this period, space exploration emerged as a major area of contest and became known as the space race. During the late 1940s, the Department of Defense pursued research and rocketry and upper atmospheric sciences as a means of assuring American leadership in technology. A major step forward came when President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved a plan to orbit a scientific satellite as part of the International Geophysical Year (IGY) for the period, July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958, a cooperative effort to gather scientific data about the Earth. The Soviet Union quickly followed suit, announcing plans to orbit its own satellite. " (from NASA's website).

Trade paperback. Condition: Good. x, 167, [3] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Bibliographic Essay. Index. Ding at bottom of spine. Roger Bilstein completed the Ph.D. degree at Ohio State University in 1965, and his dissertation analyzed the progress of aviation during the 1920s. His interest in aviation stemmed from boyhood fascination, especially the role of general aviation. As a university history professor, he taught history courses in twentieth century US history, but also offered courses in the history of technology and the history of aviation and space. During 1970-71, he was contracted by NASA to write the official history of the Apollo-Saturn launch vehicles, which won an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) history award. Among his eight books are "Flight in America" and "The American Aerospace Industry;" he also wrote several dozen articles as well as numerous encyclopedia entries on aviation and space. In 1992-93, he was named as the Charles Lindbergh Fellow at NASM. The role of NASA and its predecessor organization, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, in the development of aeronautics and space exploration. In 1965, Eugene M. Emme, historian for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), wrote a brief survey of the agency entitled Historical Sketch of NASA (EP-29). It served its purpose as a succinct overview useful for Federal personnel, new NASA employees, and inquiries from the general public. Because people were so curious about the nascent space program, the text emphasized astronautics. By 1976, a revision was in order, undertaken by Frank W. Anderson, Jr., publications manager of the NASA History Office. With a different title, Orders of Magnitude: A History of NACA and NASA, 1915-1980 (SP-4403), the new version gave more attention to NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), although astronautics was still accorded the lion's share of the text. This version adds a decade. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.
